Not sure if it’s a fleshing knife or a draw knife found in a pile of draw knifes. It’s hand stamped AAH.[Linked Image][Linked Image][Linked Image]

Its a flesher-Not a draw knife-(draw knife handles are cocked at a right angle to the blade)


Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

the picture above looks like the draw knife in the link


it may well have been used as a fleshing knife but did it start life as a draw knife

It's a fleshing knife and I had one similar to it for over 30 years which worked great for fisher and larger pelts.
